Correct answer: (C) 940
SP = MP×0.40×0.69 = ₹324.3, so MP = 324.3/0.276 = ₹1175. Since a 25% profit without discount means MP = 1.25×CP, CP = 1175/1.25 = ₹940.

सही उत्तर: (C) 940
विक्रय मूल्य = अंकित मूल्य×0.40×0.69 = ₹324.3, अत: अंकित मूल्य = ₹1175। बिना छूट 25% लाभ का अर्थ अंकित मूल्य = 1.25×क्रय मूल्य, अत: क्रय मूल्य = 1175/1.25 = ₹940।
